Pareshan Ho Ke Meri Khaak Aakhir Dil Na Ban Jaaye — Allama Iqbal
परेशाँ हो के मेरी ख़ाक आख़िर दिल न बन जाए
जो मुश्किल अब है या रब फिर वही मुश्किल न बन जाए
— Allama Iqbal
Meaning
May my dust, weary and distressed, not become a heart, and may the difficulty that lies before us, O God, not become so again.
Explanation
This couplet is a profound plea for emotional respite. The poet, Allama Iqbal, isn't just talking about physical ashes; he's speaking of the exhaustion of the soul. He prays that the turmoil he has endured—the 'difficulty'—never recurs. It's a yearning for a state of peace, a wish that the painful struggles of life finally subside and bring lasting comfort.
